The results were calculated by following the method of Aida 1994. For each subject, an anxiety score was calculated by adding participants’ ratings of the 22
items. According to the questionnaire result above, Hot Seat activity received mostly positive perception from the participants. As stated in item number 1, it received
about 95 of participants who liked the Hot Seat activity. Although it showed that the participants had positive perception on Hot Seat activity, the items which had
foreign language speaking anxiety factors received high percentages. In order to make sure that the participants experienced foreign language
speaking anxiety, the researcher inserted the anxiety symptom as in “My heart beats faster” item 6. According to Spielberg 1978, anxiety is unpleasant emotional
condition which is characterized by tension, fear, worry, and followed by the reactions from central neurotic system. From the result, it showed 77 from 100
participants experienced this. Also, the participants 84 were disagree on the statement in number 2. They felt nervous and tense while they were performing the
Hot Seat activity. It was possible for every participant to feel nervous and tense since this type of anxiety was a part of emotional aspects that a human being has Buck,
1984. However, the foreign language speaking anxiety was a special case which not everyone would experience this.
